THE BAKETONES / JOHNNY DICK PROJECT / SPEEDY RECOVERY @ TRIBECA

*** THIS SHOW HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO A DOUBLE-BOOKING. SORRY. ***

It’s September and you know what that means – Crisp fall air – Tens of thousands of doe-eyed students trawling the urban core in search of education, love, and life experience – and consumption of obtuse amounts of alcohol purchased with seemingly unlimited student loan cash.

Which brings us to the matter at hand. This Wednesday night at Tribeca. Sexy garage rockers The Baketones, barely containable rock forces of nature, the Johnny Dick Project, and the intrepid, classy and always affable rock and roll sensation known only as Speedy Recovery.

Three dollars. 9:30-12.

Show review: Johnny Dick Project CD Release

The fine folks over at Noisography just posted a review of the show we played on Friday night at the Seahorse with Johnny Dick Project, No Flyers Please, and Dress Code Casual. Check it out!

Show Overview: Johnny Dick Project CD Release Friday, July 15th @ The Seahorse (click for pics)

Excerpt:

The Baketones are loud, crazy, sexy fucks. You do not want your daughter to meet them, you do not want her to get into their van, you do not want her to bring one of them home. If she does, you better send her ass to a convent because if you don’t, she won’t be your little girl anymore; she’ll be a demon succubus craving only rock and roll and organ solos. When the Baketones took to the stage, the crowd at the bar was a little bit bigger than it had been for DCC, but still a touch thin. This did not stop the band from playing one of the better sets I’ve seen at the Seahorse. The vibe is pure party mixed with a little bit of generalized violence. Never in one set have I seen more interesting things done with a synthesizer; Dude played it like a keytar, took off one of the legs of the piano and played “slide organ” and, I swear to God, the guy did it with a beer in his hand. ALWAYS. This is not to say that everyone else in the band was invisible; the stage was full of energy, and the crowd that made it out a bit early absolutely loved it. If you get a chance to see these guys, do not pass it up.
